How to Use This Park Crest, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Park Crest, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Park Crest.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Park Crest defines the quiet intersection of heavy earth and deliberate water, where the landscape settles into a series of modest, stubborn elevations. It lies 10.5 miles south-southwest of Hazleton, PA (from Hazleton, PA: bearing 201°T), and is situated 4.3 miles west-northwest of Tamaqua. Pine Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the terrain, its current providing a rhythmic pulse to the land that keeps the soil dampened and the local flora thick. The immediate geography centers on the stillness of Lakeside Park Reservoir, a body of water that mirrors the pale, expansive skies of the region with a glassy, unblinking intensity. Beyond the local canopy, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the horizon, serving as a reminder of the vast, folded topography that stretches far to the east and south.

Park Crest maintains a character forged by the legacy of industrial labor and the steady, slow-moving pace of life in the interior. The local economy persists with a quiet resilience, drawing on the remnants of traditional trades that once utilized the proximity of the water to power small-scale milling and manufacturing. Life here often involves a short walk to the borders of Tuscarora State Park, where the forest floor preserves a sense of solitude that contrasts sharply with the nearby activity of the region’s main roads. Residents often look toward the deeper recesses of the landscape, such as the quiet depth of Negro Hollow, to find a reprieve from the modern hum. When the weather turns, the sound of water moving over rock at Tomhicken Falls becomes a local reference point, anchoring the daily experience of Park Crest in the physical reality of the Pennsylvania countryside.
